Third Act. Two bodies appeared inside a vehicle in one of the most crowded and 'showy' places in the municipality, the Rufino Tamayo Park.





The bodies appeared in the afternoon, before 7:00 p.m. The first reports indicated that the bodies allegedly had traces of violence, and their faces were covered with plastic bags, and they also presented a certain degree of decomposition.
